You do not earn a nickname like the 'singing winger' without having an eventful life and no one can say Colin Grainger did not live his to its fullest.
Grainger, who has died at the age of 89, was once the fastest wide man in English football, running down the wing for Sheffield United, Sunderland, Leeds and more. He famously scored twice against Brazil on his England debut.
